How staysafeonline started their logo design journey

Summary

NO NEW DESIGNS PLEASE!! We have narrowed our selection down to 5 final designs and will be selecting a design from those that are in the finals.

Looking for a clean design for a logo and stationary (letterhead, envelope, business card) for our computer security company. You must warrant work is an original creation by YOU and must assign rights to us if you win.

What inspires you and how do you envision the design for your business?

We are no longer looking for additional submissions as we are considering a few finalists. This contest award will be won by one of three designers and the announcement will come no later than September 22 at 4:59 GMT

We are a 3 year old computer security company that works with both businesses and individuals. Our primary focus is security however, at times, we become the "IT department" for our clients. Our current logo is clean, but not very inspiring and we are looking to create a "coordinated" image across our company (website will be done after a winner is selected).

The most important thing for this design is that it needs to be clean -- because we will eventually be embroidering it on golf shirts, bags, etc so we want to be able to have it look great on our printed material as well as when it is embroidered.

As far as design elements, the name of the company is "eyeNET Security Inc". Current colors are black and red but we are NOT tied to this at all - so use your imagination!

Our primary focus is on serving our clients, so while we want the design to be professional looking, we don't want it to feel "cold" or "impersonal". I know all of my clients and all of their employees by name and it would be great if we can have that same "everyone knows your name" feel come across in the design elements.

I am very open to all ideas and will provide feedback to all submissions. And this is my first sitepoint experience - I hope that it isn't the last!
